685.0. "What is the 'save' default level" by SANITY::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Thu May 15 1997 17:56

    Hi
    
    Our site is using some scripts that contain save commands that do not
    specify a level.  That said, what is the default level that NetWorker
    will assume?  The man pages don't mention a default value.
    
    Thanks!

	Incremental, to check just use the -vvv option.
685.2	Maybe not?	SANITY::LEMONS	And we thank you for your support.	`Wed May 21 1997 12:55`	13
	On our system running NetWorker Server for Digital UNIX V4.3 SSB, I did a 'man mminfo', and read: "The level is only kept for scheduled saves and file migration; save sets generated by explicitly running the save(8) command (called ad hoc saves) do not have an associated level." So, which is it: incremental or no level? Thanks, and sorry to question this; it's very important for a cloning process I'm writing to know this. tl

	As stated in the man page is it not either. A manual save will save all requested files, period. This can not be considered a full since only some of the files may have been selected on the save command. An ad-hoc save is just that, a few files saved in addtion to the normal saves. If the files have changed since the last incremental and are saved via an ad-hoc manual save, they will still be saved by the next incremental even though they are already on tape.

	Thakns, Roger. According to the manual 'save -l' can be used to specify a level, which (I guess) will force the saveset to be marked with the appropriate level. Is this true? Any gotchas? tl

	You seem to have more time to find these things out then we do. You already have more practice at expanding this products capability than anybody in our group.
685.6	Roger's is testy due to lack of sleep :-) :-)	DECWET::EVANS	NSR Engineering	`Wed May 21 1997 15:47`	5
	It's that silly Scalability Day Thing... :-) :-) Terry -- yeah, using -l <level> will do what you want. It just won't remember that level from one run to another... but that's why you use a script, right! :-)
